[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stm8:
I've been using Greenify (unrooted), Package Disabler Pro, and dark themes to maximize my battery life. But I think Tasker does the most to help me conserve battery power.

When I am at work, Tasker turns off WiFi, Bluetooth, all sounds, and drops screen brightness to about 20%. I only turn on GPS when I am using an app that requires it. Tasker turns my brightness and volumes down when I am connected to WiFi at home.

I think these simple actions with Tasker help my battery life more than just about anything else. I average about 6.5 hours of SOT, and I still have 30%+ left on my battery when I get home.

But it all depends on how you use your phone. YouTube and video games consume more juice than TapaTalk and light Internet browsing.

Just try to uninstall or disable facebook app via settings, and feel the difference. I read on Internet that Facebook app known as battery eater. Just try it and give some response here. Hope that help.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhemi4x4:
It depends. Some people want the extreme battery savings and are willing to sacrifice a lot of performance on the phone, dim screen, no GPS, etc.

I prefer my phone to operate at its full potential all the time. I don't want to mess with settings if something came up and someone wanted to see a picture and I have to worry about setting brightnesses and whatnot.

For the most part, most of those apps are only getting a marginal amount of better battery. Maybe 20 or 30 minutes more charge over the day.

During work, I rarely use my phone because I'm actually working lol. Sometimes I use it for work but the quick charge takes care of whatever I lose during my lunch hour

I use GSAM the monitor was actually using the most battery in just address what's needed. The only feature that I usually do turn off and keep up for the most part is my Wi-Fi. In the areas I use my phone the most, my average download speeds over cellular are over a gigabit
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larry Johnson:
greeify - yes, only if you know greenified app was a battery drainer.

package disabler - yes, only if you know those services were battery drainers.

I use betterbatterystats app to find out what is draining the battery.

biggest culprit for me was phone not going into Deep Sleep. If you can remedy deep sleep issue, your battery will last much longer. I currently get around 1 percent drain every 2 hours when my phone's screen is off. that's with wifi on all the time.

Best way for me was installing a custom rom. most custom roms will have battery issues fixed. I use dr ketan's rom. it's awesome.

Another way without rooting that I found out, is disable google services. google play services and all google services. if you do that, watch your battery last forever.

I forget which app, but you could make profiles so you could enable or disable all google services, and google play services. I mean, you don't download new apps all the time, right?

So only enable google play services when you want to download apps and turn it off for the rest of time.

and of course deal with bloatware.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derpling:
I'm glad you asked, i've been using greenify amplify and powernap as of recently, and no it does not improve battery life automatically but it helps to keep your running services in check.

I've had couple of times that chrome was running in background, despite i closed it, means it drains battery when your screen is off, greenify prevents that from happening which result in battery improvement or more precisely, helps you manage the services right.

However to my surprise, calibrating the battery via batterycalibaration app or L Speed tweaks apk(both need root), it stabilized my battery after couple of cycles, i did a test charge the phone to 100 then using performance governor, i put Angry birds 2 till the battery reached 5% so i could see the SOT, before this step i had 2h 45m but AFTER calibration i had 4h 30m, that a LOT for performance non stop ab2 gaming.

It helps with regular uses as well, i also used repair battery to make sure that battery health is in check, hope all that helps :D

I've tried this several times and over the last 3 weeks and honestly have never notice any difference to battery life. The less features of the web version to me doesn't warrant this as a worthwhile change.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaston_garcia:
Interesting. I've never tried calibrating a battery.

Honestly, I feel fine with my Note 5. But I always imagine what I want from a ROM or device:

Better battery is always good

Fast performance is good
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaston_garcia:
I've thought about installing and trying Dr. Ketan's Rom.

Has it been great for you? What's been the thing you like the most about it?

Thanks for your answer.:good:
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Wayne8:
Hey..

I was interested when you mention using Tasker app, so I tried to use it.

When I was setting the app I try to set WiFi on when at home and set off when I'm not, does this need root? could you share the tutorial setup to me?

One more thing, I tried set GPS on when using the allowed app, I find this set must be rooted, If you could, would you share the tutorial setup too?

thanks

Seriously? Swipe down and toggle wifi and mobile data on/off!

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larry Johnson:
yea, any rom install requires root. I thought about not rooting my note5 for a while. damn knox count that disables samsung pay + much harder to sell and lowers the resale value. HATE samsung for doing that. I mean, if I flash a stock rom, everything should be back to normal. ONLY company that makes the resale value of phone drop forever, if you root!

sorry, i digress.

dr ketan's rom is very clean and snappy. he only removed knox and carrier apps, and left everything stock. didn't take away any functions, but added "actually useful" features. insane amount of features without slowing down the phone. it feels like stock rom without the bloat and the usual "limited" feeling of stock. battery life is improved also. especially the deep sleep. what i noticed was that, when i was on stock, deep sleep was pretty good already, then I rooted and deep sleep was out of wack. I tried everything for the deep sleep to be better, but didn't work well. so i flashed dr ketan's rom, and deep sleep is now actually better than stock.

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

- nonstop update/support. he actually replies to everyone. only developer i've seen who does that.

- very good features. they are actually very useful and powerful.

- very stable.

- an of course, great battery life.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stm8:
Yeah, there is a pretty steep learning curve when it comes to Tasker. On the bottom right hand corner in the Tasker app, click on the question-mark icon. From there you can click on "Guides" for user tips and tutorials. Click on "Userguide" for the manual.

GPS cannot be set without root, since Gingerbread OS I believe. I manually turn it on and off when I need it. I leave WiFi on during the time frame I am at work. Tasker turns it back on at quitting time. When I get home and connect to my home WiFi, Tasker sets my brightness, sound levels, etc.

I was just updating my I-mate SP5m with some new programs....

I tried to unpacking a WMP skin. It asked me to choose a program to open the .CAB file, so I chose Window's Media Player (my stupidity)

Now I can't open .CAB Files. It automatically try’s to open ALL .CAB FILES WITH WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER...

How do I fix this problem?

PLEASE HELP ME :(
[HTC Tornado] N8falke:
you should edit the link to cab files. for example with binaries smart explorer. i guess you (or a program somehow) set a link to the media player which doesnt make sense of cause.. if you use menu <open> - <manage file types> you can check if cab is in the list and delete the link to it.. after that the cab file should be installed by the system again.

hope that helped
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gytole:
I purchased a bluetooth mouse and keyboard a few weeks back and have been playing with the bluetooth on the Nexus 6P and have to say it multitasks quite well! here is what i'm using to type this!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MU...h+keyboard&dpPl=1&dpID=41RWHMNctnL&ref=plSrch

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BZ...ooth+mouse&dpPl=1&dpID=31Y+gTBX4pL&ref=plSrch

The Keyboard is REALLY cool! I have a Cruzerlite Circuit case that fits right in the tablet/Phone holder and it works perfect! The mouse is great but the only thing that kinda takes a second to get use to is you cannot right click to copy and paste, you have to use it like your double tapping text to get it to pop up but only takes a second.

What amazes me the most though is how it can use the mouse, keyboard AND be streaming music to my Vizio 5.1 Soundbar and not miss a beat of music or miss a keypress on my keyboard! There is absolutely ZERO interfernce.

I highly recommend this keyboard just for it's useful holder. Sucks that it isn't backlit but for the money it's really not half bad, and the fact you can turn a knob to connect it to another device is gold in my book as it is connected to my laptop also and takes a split second.

Let me know if you guys use multiple bluetooth devices or if I can answer any questions. I'll take some pictures later of my setup!:D
[Framaroot] jonathanokolie:
Please i need help on how to solve this nagging problem.

I have a techno p5+, the problem with the phone is that it keeps loosing Internet (pls not radio network) network all the time.

When this happen, I will still have access to radio network (that is, the phone radio network will still be there, sometimes with full bar but the problem is that I will not be able to access an Internet network on the phone. I will not be able to get even 2g or 3g (hspa+) on it until I restores or refreshes the network APN.

The only way I solves this problem is that I will go to settings and click on access point names (APN) then I will RESET it.

This problem has frustrated me to the extent that I find it difficult to download or update my phone apps because the moment I does that, it will keep doing this over and over...

Please, any geek in the house with a good understanding of the problem should pls help me.

Thanks.

I bricked my nexus 5 by installing elementalx. I installed the right version and all. It was taking hours to boot it was staying on the boot animation. So i consulted a guide, like any other person. I wiped the partition that had android installed, as the guide said. But when it came time to use the ADB sideload feature that twrp includes, my pc will not detect my device whatsoever, adb or fastboot. I am freaking out. Please respond ASAP anyone. I have no OS installed now. All I have is TWRP. It was running 6.0.1 marshmallow.

[General Questions and Answers] Casosko:
Hello, I have purchased an Unlocked LG G3 D850 AT&T variant from Ebay. I have cricket wireless as my service provider and thought for sure there would not be an issue as the phone seems to have the appropriate bands. However the keeps losing the 4G LTE signal and goes to E ( I think that's 2G ) and doesn't refresh to the faster network. I checked the APN. I did not create a new one but there was one titled NDO and it had the proper cricket apn settings. When I turn airplane mode on, then switch in of. The 4G LTE signal comes back again for sometime and then is gone again.

Should I return the phone?

I was thinking to have it flashed to another ROM ( Would be a 2nd time for me ) because I really like this phone despite this one issue.

Also cricket doesn't seem to be sending that message which pushes some kind of setting onto the phone ( the moto x did that )

What are your recommendations?

Thank you for your time.

Hello all,

I have a China-made ORDRO SW16 Android device. It runs Android 4.4.2 and has a Mediatek MT6572 CPU and supports Internal Storage Encryption, which I have enabled.

Since the device is small (1.5" screen), it runs a cut down Settings App, and it's missing a lot of pages even though the phone should support it. I want (need) to also encrypt my SD Card. I was wondering if there is an ADB command to encrypt the external SD Card.

I've tried searching on Google (it only has the command for the Internal Storage, which I already have encrypted) and the forums, nothing...

Alternatively, I could root the device and install the AOSP Settings app. Would that be advisable?

I thank you for the help in advance.

It will surely do the trick but mind that you'll have to scale up the icons with Gravitybox to their original size in order to have consistency between desktop icons and dock icons. Some good values might be 400 and 420 DPI; I personally use 420, the best compromise for me overall. Let me know!

I was wondering if it was possible to flash my Artemis with one of the official development image ("PPC_FRA_GSM_VR.BIN" available at the Microsoft website) that is aimed for the Device Emulator environment under Windows.

Otherwise, is it possible to cook a ROM for the Artemis beginning with such an image ?

That said, and not having anything valuable on this brick-to-be the performance gains were pretty substantial. Like day and night. Might be because i only use it on Wi-Fi at home so i was able to can all the telephone crap, oh but i do love pushing uninstall on bloat. Almost makes the frustration of no one knowing how to root the thing worth it. Anyway, here's the kingroot link. Be warned, It will intigrate, and it was still there after a hard reset (i sometimes love canning boat a bit too much) which creeped me out enough to uninstall it just to be sure, and it did.
